This month’s Paper Pumpkin Gift of Fall kit includes:

As I sit typing this, I’ve just whipped out my calculator. Because it occurred to me looking at this list, the embellishments are QUITE the value! Like a $17 value!! I think I need a Refill Kit!

This month, Paper Pumpkin doubled down on the creativity
by offering the Gift of Fall Add On Bundle.
In it, you get 24 card bases and envelopes.

Alternative Card

I loved the cute gift bags that are made with the August kit
and didn’t want to sacrifice any of the elements for an alternative.
Some months when creating alternatives , I play close to the kit contents.
This month the alternatives are geared more for the casual or avid crafter.
Can you guess what my absolute favorite part of this month’s kit is?
That ombre-ish tag just sings to me!!
So, I used it as inspiration.

Now, I also adored those die cut printed vellum pieces!
So, I cut leaves from Vellum with the Leaf Punch
and colored them with Stampin’ Blends.
While I was coloring, I also colored some Whisper White Baker’s Twine.
Down below you’ll find a FREE tutorial with all of the details
so you can make your own.

Alternative Favor

Continuing on that ombre-ish theme,
you’ll color the box base with Stampin’ Blends.
Then use the exclusive Gifts of Fall stamp set image
to stamp a random pattern.

On the top,
you’ll add Crushed Curry and Pretty Peacock cardstock.
After stamping the sentiment on Crumb Cake,
cut it out with the Christmas Bulb Builder Punch.

The card and favor box make a fun
gift to make for Fall giving!

Great projects as always Sara!!!
Thank you, Jeanna! Kind of you to say.
I love your projects with this kit. Thank you for full instructions on the card! Did you also include directions to make and decororate the box? I couldn’t find anything?
Thank you, Gloria! And you’re welcome for the card directions. I didn’t include directions for the box but perhaps I can put together a video this week.
